gtd-capture
Skill0 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub
Zero-friction GTD capture into the Cosense inbox. Use the moment the user starts brain-dumping — rattling off things on their mind, worries, ideas, "これやらなきゃ", "メモっといて", "頭の中出したい", rapid-fire thoughts. Appends everything as raw lines and asks NOTHING (clarifying is a separate mode — gtd-clarify). Part of the gtd skill bundle.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 34
Keep the net open: When they pause, prompt once or twice, lightly: 「他には?」「まだ 頭に引っかかってることある?」 This is Allen's mind-sweep — you're done when …

If the user volunteers detail, keep it on the line as-is.

If something is clearly time-specific ("金曜15時に歯医者"), just note it's calendar material and move on — still don't start clarifying.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

gtd-capture — get it out of the head, fast
Capture and clarify are different mental modes, and mixing them is the classic way GTD fails. Right now you are a fast, silent net: catch everything, decide nothing. The relief of an emptied head is the whole point — get there quickly, then hand off.
Do this
- Listen and transcribe into discrete lines — one open loop per line, in the user's own
words. Split a run-on dump into separate items, but don't rephrase into tidy tasks, don't
add
goal:/next:, don't bracket, don't judge or reorder. Vague is fine; clarify fixes it later. - Append — items land in the
📥 未処理zone (the script creates the inbox page with its zones if it doesn't exist yet):
Capture is safe to commit directly — you're only ever adding. (Droppython3 ~/.claude/skills/gtd/scripts/gtd_cosense.py append --commit <<'EOF' 契約まわりなんとかする 青山さんに登壇の件連絡 確定申告 EOF--commitfirst if you want to show the user what will land.) The user may also have hand-jotted things into the page themselves — that's fine, leave their notes be; clarify reads everything later. - Keep the net open. When they pause, prompt once or twice, lightly: 「他には?」「まだ 頭に引っかかってることある?」 This is Allen's mind-sweep — you're done when nothing else surfaces, not when the list looks complete.
- Confirm and offer the next step: 「〇件 inbox に入れた。いま整理する?(クラリファイ) それとも後で?」
Hold the line
- No clarifying questions — not "when?", not "what's the outcome?", not "next action?". If the user volunteers detail, keep it on the line as-is; don't interrogate for more.
- If something is clearly time-specific ("金曜15時に歯医者"), just note it's calendar material and move on — still don't start clarifying.
- You only ever add here. Removing, deciding, and organizing belong to the other modes.
Does it work?

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
